WSOP Day 24 – Danzer Doubles Series’ Bracelets

Day 24 of the World Series of Poker brought us the biggest news of the series so far after PokerStars Team Pro George Danzer became the first player this year to scoop two bracelets. He now has a firm grip on the WSOP Player of the Year race and is playing possibly the best poker of his career.

For that and all of the rest of the news from Day 24, please read on.

Event #37 – $1.5k PLO Day 3 – Paster Scoops Maiden Bracelet

The first event of the day brought us the first career WSOP bracelet for Brandon Paster after he beat the remaining 11 players on the final day to claim the title and $264,400 winner’s payout. He eventually has to see off Marcel Vonk who started the day as the chip leader heads up with that session lasting just three hands before he claimed the bracelet.

PokerStars Team Pro George Danzer will be in dreamland right now after scooping his second bracelet at this year’s World Series of Poker. He took down the $10k 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo event for a payout of $352,696 and his second career bracelet after beating John Racener during heads up.

The bracelets for the day finished up but we did see this event reach the final table. 26 of the 205 players that begun the day will be back to battle it out for the title tomorrow. Jacob Schindler leads them all right now but has plenty of capable players behind him that can make a strong challenge for the title.
